Yes I pay something like $80 a year, plus then I have to pay postage on top of that. They ship via DHL and I usually get a 50lb shipment for about $300, but thats HEAPS of stuff and is far cheaper than anything else. Plus I get it in 5 days! They box it all up and consolidate it, they are really good and have been using them for over 2 years now. I love that I can still buy stuff from the States!
